Are you Amayado-san?

[ Rei squints down at his phone with a frown. An unknown number that knows his name? Now THAT'S not a good look.

Thinking back to the people who have his number, the count is pretty small. Just Sasara, Rosho, Ramuda, and... that salaryman guy, he supposes? Only the last three are likely candidates for giving out his cell-- Sasara took his info security warning seriously enough. (So did Rosho, but he can be swayed, gullible heart and all.) So it must be someone that knows one of those three...

Well, it doesn't matter. This text could be literally anything, and he might as well answer it. No worries. Fuck it. Yolo, et cetera.]

Looking for someone?

[He won't have to wonder too long, thankfully. Jakurai isn't going to be one to dance around the subject. He has a few questions, of course.]

I will cut straight to it. This is Jakurai Jinguji, leader of Matenrou. I believe you had a run in with one of my teammates.

Care to explain exactly what happened? He returned to me with a broken thumb and seems to think you may come after him. Which I simply cannot allow.

[ SO IT WAS DOPPO'S FAULT. THAT FUCKIN GUY!!! If Rei never sees him again it will be too soon. At least if a wet blanket like him could win the division battle, then Rosho has a fighting chance after all...

Ahhhhh, it's fine. Talking to Jakurai is an interesting enough outcome.]

Ah, that guy.
Yeah, he was stumbling around in the dark. Must've spooked him with the flashlight. In his panic he tried to sock me a good one, but.. well, I'm sure you saw how that turned out.
You tell him thumb out next time.

[LMAO]

He seems to have enough trouble handling himself as it is.
I have no plans to interact with Kannonzaka-kun unless I have to, so no need to bare any fangs, Sensei!

[Okay so probably what happened is Jakurai threatened Doppo a little to get the number, you see. So technically it isn't all his fault or anything. He also had to pull his thumb back into place after all of that so like, yeah.]

Doppo-kun can handle himself just fine, under the right circumstances.

[That is not entirely untrue.]

Who are you, exactly.

Me?

[Rei thinks it over for a bit before he actually replies to Jakurai's question. The doctor's a bit of an untouchable entity back home. Otome and her girls have their paws all over him; it's too obvious for Rei to make much contact. Rei has a lot of leeway, but straight-up approaching the ever-coveted champion is a bridge too far.

But here...

God only knows how long they'll be stuck here in Avalon-- or if they'll ever go back at all. Still... maybe Rei should take the chance.]

Amayado Rei.

Osaka Division's third member, at your service.

[ You know, he never meant to be an untouchable entity. He had goals, things he needs to take care of. Winning champion in the midst of that was just icing on the cake.

If anyone deserved the title more it was Hifumi and Doppo. They worked hard for it after all.]

Another hypnosis mic user then. I’ve heard of a division out of Nagoya, but Osaka too? I shouldn’t be so surprised.

You haven't heard of us? That's no good. Guess we'll have to be more obnoxious. [IF THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE]

Well, don't worry your pretty head about it. The competition's a fairly meaningless distinction... while we're stuck here, anyway.

I believe the only person I know of would be Nurude-san. As he was present in Lunatia, the last world that I went to.

[ But Rei is right, the competition means nothing here. So it would be fine to get to know one another, possibly. ]

If you mean no threat to myself and mine, then I will not worry myself with it...on the other hand. If you mean to cause harm, that will be a different story all together.

[This is the first Rei has concretely heard of Lunatia, outside of Rosho's drunk nearly-incomprehensible explanation. So that means it's real, huh? Good to know.......]

Like I said. [Don't sweat it.]

If I see you around, I'll be sure to introduce myself in person.
'Till then, Sensei.
